Yeah, I figured if I was going to use a manned turret, then the droid on it would be pretty exposed.So I like, "Well I'll make him a scout... and give him his own detachable STAP!"

Anyways, while I don't think it counts for this thread, I have been working on that "Conifer class" Briktoid Automata ship I've been talking about.But I don't know......Do you think it could use more guns?

Oh, yeah the TU:RDs are also Microspace Ships.They exist because warships like the Conifer class are little more then weapons, armor, shielding, sensors, engines, and the computer brains that run them.Briktoid Automata doesn't waste space with superfluous things like "Crew Quarters" or "Life Support" and they need something to move their ground troops from planet to planet with.I could maybe build a Drop-pod using the same techniques, but for right now I just wanted a freighter.

Just kidding,there's no more room for any weaponry,at least that I can see.
